lithium ion battery recycling turn-key solution

With the explosion of electric vehicles and energy storage markets, lithium ion battery recycling has become a key area of ​​resource circulation and environmental protection. One-stop solutions achieve full battery component recycling through efficient and green process flows, with both environmental and economic benefits.

Process flow
Typical one-stop solutions include: 1) disassembly after discharge to ensure safe handling; 2) mechanical crushing and sorting to separate metal shells, plastic diaphragms, etc.; 3) hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgy to extract precious metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel; 4) chemical purification to obtain battery-grade raw materials. Advanced technologies such as direct recycling can retain the structure of positive electrode materials and further reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Environmental significance
Waste batteries contain heavy metals and electrolytes, and improper disposal can easily pollute soil and water sources. Recycling can reduce carbon emissions by more than 90% (compared to primary mining), and alleviate dependence on imports of resources such as cobalt and lithium, promoting carbon neutrality goals.

Economic benefits
The global battery recycling market will exceed US$10 billion in 2023, and the value of metal recycling is significant. For example, each ton of ternary batteries can extract about $3,000 worth of cobalt and nickel. Policy subsidies (such as China’s “14th Five-Year Plan” circular economy plan) and the ESG investment boom further boosted industry profitability.

Future Outlook
With the standardization of battery design and the iteration of recycling technology (such as AI sorting and biometallurgy), the recycling rate will exceed 95%. It is estimated that the global lithium battery recycling scale will exceed $50 billion in 2030, becoming a core link in the green energy industry chain.

In summary, lithium ion battery recycling turn-key solution combines resource security and commercial potential, and is an important pillar of the circular economy.
